RECEPTACLE FOB, HOLDING SMALL TOILET AIR-TTGLES.

Application filed June 5,

My invention relates to a receptacle for holding: the small toilet articles of an infant and has reference particularly to a one piece glass base embodying cavities for soap and powder and upright lugsto support a comb and brush.

The invention has for its principal object to provide a receptacle of this character, which is cast in a single piece oi glass hav- 0 inpj smooth surfaces and rounded corners, and which is capable of being sterilized by boiling in water whenever it is found necessary.

A further object of my inyen on is to ati'ord a cavity in the glass mold for the head or bristles of a brush and also a raised bridge portion to hold the handle oi the brush.

I accomplish these objects by means 01 a construction hereinafter described in the specification and set forth in the claim, and 20 illustratirely exemplified in the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved toilet recep-' tacle showing the toilet articles in position; Figure 2 is a similar view with the toilet articles removed; and Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on lines 83 of Figure showing the cavity and bridge for the brush. 1

Referring to the drawing, 10 denotes the glass base or receptacle which is preferably square in plan and comprises a single casting having a fiat top portion 11 and depending marginal skirt portion 12. At the rear of the top 11 two upright U-shaped bridge portions 13 project in a direction from front to rear and at spaced distances from each other. The upstanding" projections or arms 14 of bridge portions 13 are intended to accommodate the ends of a comb 15 therebetween, as illustrated in Figure 1. Intermediate the top 11 between the front and rear thereof are arranged two cavities 16 and 17 the former being preferably rectangularly shaped while the latter is 1912s. Serial No. 283,106.

round. The bottom of each cavity is below the level of the top 11 and is rounded off at its corners 18 to join the upright side Walls 19 which project to an elevation substantially above the top portion 11. The receptacles thus formed are open at their tops and accommodate covers 20 of any suitable material, 0, celluloid or glass. At the front of the base 10., the top 11 is provided with an. [upstanding U-shaped portion 21 in line with the similar portion 13 on the left side of the rear; this stand 21 is to accommodate the handle of a brush 22, the head or bristles 23 being; received in an oval shaped depression 2% on the right of the stand 21 and in front of the round ca vity ll'. The depression 24 is very much more shallowthan the other cavities 16 and 17 and it is provided withround corners 25 whereits side walls oin the bottom 26 and top surface 11, as illustrated particularly in Figure 3.

It will be clear that due to the fact the entire base 10 is cast in a single piece of glass it may be simply placed in boiling water to sterilize and because of the care eizercised in its production to provide round corners whenever possible, the danger of foreign substances gathering at the corners is avoided.

Having now described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

As an article of manufacture, a receptacle for toilet articlescomprising a one piece cast glass base having a depending marginal skirt portion, spaced upright U-shaped portions, depressions with upright walls projecting above the base, and an upright U-shaped portion in front of two of said depressions and opposite a third depression which has its side walls flush with the level of the base.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.

ARTHUR ZADEK.
